Create shortcut to app on desktop from within the config UI now force creates the icon (as you may use it before an app has been run)

On first-run of the app, a dialog reminds you about the top right corner overlay.

Fix for drag to close on a fullscreen app ignoring the return to Windows 8 menu setting

Fixed naming of some apps in the list that had yet to be run (they got truncated in error)
